Yeah, that would be nice. It doesn't show in the default theme either. And it also doesn't show in Platforms view (not that it's really needed in platforms view).

Something I find interesting in my setup. I have a high end gaming rig next to a Sharp 32" 60Hz 1080p TV (with gaming mode) and a ASUS 24" 60Hz 1080p IPS monitor. I would have thought gaming would look much better on the IPS monitor, but I have permanently hooked up to the TV ($150). To me, and I'm nowhere near an authority as Lordmonkus on this, gaming looks a lot better on the TV!! Go figure. So, like you, I won't purchase a great monitor yet, because I want high refresh, IPS, g-sync, and either 1440p or 4k. I might be ok going with 27", but I'm still not yet satisfied with the choices out there for the $. And I'd rather wait for 32" anyway to replace the TV.

you might want to try stand alone emulator ePSXe for PS1. i like it better than RA. but RA should work too if you really want to use it.

If everything is the same but the LB version and it works on 6.9, that is very interesting and sure seems like a bug.

Well, I wouldn't be trying it first through a Teamviewer connection if I were you. First you need to test things out logged into the computer directly. Get rid of the extra layers of abstraction, and then see where things break down.

Glad to hear that!

Do your emulators and games work fine if you use them without LB/BB? 7.10 is just as stable as any other version. First get them to work outside of LB. Then if you still have issues with LB/BB, post screenshots of your emulator setup screens in LB and a screenshot from a couple games' setup screens too (right click, edit).

One thing that might happen is that you might have to do some reconfiguration of any emulator that stores your emulator configs in your user profile directory (some do, and you might not even know it). Like, you may well have to reconfigure Dolphin for example. Unless you have managed to configure all your emulators to be completely portable. Also, I wouldn't update to or install Win 10 Creators Update version if I were you. I would recommend staying at the version before that which is 1607.

You might also want to paste screenshots of your Demul emulator tabs in LB Manage Emulators as well as screenshot tabs for one of these games.

You should have 0 problems with your specs. So, if you open task manager on top of Bigbox before you even launch a game, how much cpu usage is showing for bigbox.exe? Then sort the cpu column so highest usage is at top. What is taking the most cpu and how much? I have a hard time believing BB is tanking your FPS and system. Also, is it the same issue when launching from Launchbox.exe?

- Lordmonkus items #2 and #3 are HUGE ones for me personally. #3 is probably my NUMBER 1 wish. - Lordmonkus item #4 - my biggest wish: i want to drag and drop pc game exe or shortcuts and roms to the platform pane that is displayed and have those imported to that platform with default emulator (for non PC games) and my preset import settings (from Lordmonkus #3) without asking or prompting me with anything. just do it. - A Bigbox setting (or enhancement to existing lock setting) that doesn't let you get out of the platform and game wheels other than to unlock. so not even be able to change the platform view. - A Bigbox "light" setting for lower power computers. So, just being able to enable a low power computer settings would automatically set all BB settings best for a lower power computer, but still look good enough to want to use BB. This one isn't big for me right now (might be later), but it seems like a LOT of people would benefit. - launch game with any chosen emulator on the fly - in Launchbox, a simple Loading... splash while games unzip - drag and drop a video or box art file on top of the game icon in LB, even if one already exists and make it the primary. drag and drop a platform video on top of the platform in LB - Platform level ahk tab - right click game 'open video folder' option in LB - not showing repeating names inside the BB game wheel when there is only like one to a few in there - Hide/Unhide any platform - in LB, let the Search filter box work with regular expression type of searches. i often want this word in the name but not that word. so that might be like: soccer -fifa (this would include games with soccer in the name but not if fifa is in the name). and be able to use: and, or, etc

In case you want to start Xpadder.exe with an emulator's games and then exit Xpadder when exiting the game, you can add this ahk code to your emulator's AutoHotkey Script tab: Run, C:\Xpadder\Xpadder.exe /m $Esc:: { Run, C:\Xpadder\Xpadder.exe /C Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} } Just change the path to where you put your Xpadder.exe file.

In case you want to hide the mouse pointer and have nomousy.exe, you can add this ahk code to your emulator's AutoHotkey Script tab (example is for Demul since that one often needs this): Run, R:\LaunchBox\Games\Tools\nomousy.exe /hide $Esc:: { Run, R:\LaunchBox\Games\Tools\nomousy.exe WinClose, ahk_class window ahk_exe demul.exe } Just change the path to where you put your nomousy.exe file.

In some emulators with some LB versions, this ahk line might crash or exit BB when exiting the game or cause something else undesirable (it is rare though): Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} If that happens, one of these other options should solve the problem: For Demul: $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_class window ahk_exe demul.exe } For Retroarch: $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_class RetroArch } For Dolphin: $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_class wxWindowNR }

I tried this a while back and didn't notice any difference moving cache from usb 3 drive to internal ssd drive. But that's just my configuration. I don't know that I would advise moving videos to faster storage though. I'd say try it and find out if it helps for you or not.

might be useful to add your tutorial to: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/5-third-party-apps-and-plugins/ Edit: or here, not sure which is best: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/forum/79-third-party-applications-and-plugins-released/

@Omen , nice tool! mklink can be confusing to some people. this should make it easier.

It may be an xml file inside your Data folder causing the problem. If you rename your data folder in your working installation and copy your data folder from your non working installation, does the problem come back? If it does, maybe Jason would want a copy to see what's wrong and if it can happen to others. If it's not the Data folder, then I would just copy everything from inside your new working LB folder except the new Data folder, and paste it into your non working LB folder and see if that restores your original setup on your original drive. Back things up first if you are concerned.

trim would be awesome. thanks!

Well, this is a major bummer guys. It's definitely not the norm as most systems have no issues running LB. Just as a test, maybe try installing LB to a different drive, like C.. Don't just copy your existing files, but use the LB installer, and download the installer file first just to be sure everything is good.

So there is nothing at all in the Application log in the event viewer?

Also, is it possible that either of your anti virus type software is blocking Launchbox from running? Maybe try disabling them and try it as a test?

What does the Windows Application Event log show when you try to launch it? It may have some clue. Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer. Expand Windows Logs and click Application

did you already try what i suggested?

Are you trying to launch Launchbox from a shortcut? Does it launch ok if you just browse file explorer to where you have your launchbox.exe and double click it? If not, try right clicking Launchbox.exe and selecting Properties and see if there is an Unblock button in that properties window.
